I actually enjoy vacuuming now

published

So light and easy to manoeuvre, particularly up and down stairs. Love that it is easily reconfigurable to use as a handheld vacuum cleaner for the car or hard to reach places.
The length of the battery suits us perfectly (small 3 bedroom townhouse) and since I enjoy this product so much I am actually vacuuming smaller amounts more frequently. When I'm done I just return it to its chargeable dock.

Life changer

published

I have not been the biggest fan of vacuuming, but man have this change my life.
I never knew that being cordless can make that much of a difference with a vacuum cleaner experience.
No longer do I need to put up with tangled cords while vacuuming, and I can get to nooks and crannies with ease as its light.
The Motor head extension sucks up all the dust that you'd never thought existed in you house and you'll definitely be surprised. Though the battery life is a bit short (20 min) it does well for my 2 bedroom apartment.
The only downside that I can think of is the small dust container and it has to be emptied a few times in one vacuum session. Other than that I'm a happy customer!

That is a fantastic machine comparing any other vacuum cleaner. It has strong power and easy to clean. But if the using time can be extended,it can help me more. My wife use it everyday and specially for dust and micro hair. We also have Dyson hair dryer and we enjoy use this brand's machine.

Wish I had decided to purchase earlier!

Absolutely amazing handheld vacuum cleaner! Been a fan of Dyson for many years and that is continued with the Dyson V6 Animal Origin. Battery lasts surprisingly long and is only shorter when used on max power however the vacuum is powerful enough on regular power for most tasks. The vacuum is incredibly easy to move around and makes cleaning a breeze and having to take out the bigger vacuum a chore that occurs much less frequently! Brought from Big W on a special price worth waiting for as occurs reasonably often.

last long and good performance

published

The suction performance is so great and had it for many years and yet it is still running without any loss of suction. Easy to use and maneuver. It is very light. it can vacuum any type of floors and carpets. Areas it doesn't really matter as battery only can last long for 15min under full run.

Makes cleaning the house so much easier!

published

I love this vacuum! It has made cleaning our house so much easier, and it is much more thorough than other brands of vacuum cleaners that we have owned. The fact that this vacuum is cordless means that we can easier whip out the vacuum to vacuum up a quick mess, very easily vacuum our stairs, and keep our floors tidy without the fuss of a corded vacuum.
We get about 20 minuminutes battery life per charge which is ample for getting the upstairs and downstairs of our townhouse clean.
This vacuum cleans our bamboo floors with ease and without stratching, and leaves our carpet upstairs looking brand new!

Love it, so easy and convenient

published

Amazing suction, can last for the entire time. Very good for spot cleaning or small rooms, dont use for an entire house. Not the quietest but not the loudest vacuum, doesn't wake up my roommates at least. Perfect for hardwood floors as it doesn't scratch and removes all the dust and dirt.

Handy and easy

published

I have a cat and this has been amazing. It picks up fur and hair that my other vacuum cleaner didn't. It's not too heavy to use and it's great for hard to reach places like under the bed as it can lay flat. It comes with essential attachments but has one less attachment compared to the V6 Animal Extra, but that attachment is less than $35 from the Dyson website. The only thing I didn't realise is the battery life. While not bad, it takes 3 hours of charging to get 20 minutes use maximum. With the MAX power on, it will only be around 6 minutes of use.

Sucks animal fur like no tomorrow!

published

Excellent product. Container need to be a bit bigger, sometimes the dirt stuck inside need a stick to clean and battery could last longer. Other than that its recommended. Its light, versatile and easy to maneuver. Best thing to use for cleaning car without hassle of having cords tangle up.

The best

published

This is the most convenient vacuum to use ever, anywhere. Great suction, light, compact, ready to use and swap tools etc. I find myself vacuuming every day now as it is so quick and easy to do a once over for a lovely clean house and car. Have also bought one for my elderly mother as she does not need to bend over, trip over cords or lug around a heavy vacuum anymore.

Hi, my Dyson V6 Animal Origin, only works for about 2 minutes at a time.
It’s been fully charged.
Does it need a new charger/battery?

Hi, this is the exact same thing that is happening to me and it seems to be a very common problem among Dyson consumers. I have had my Dyson for 22 months and I have sent an email explaining this and hopefully I will get a new battery under their 2 year guarantee. I am still waiting for their reply.
